July 30 (Reuters) - News and information company Thomson
Reuters Corp on Wednesday reported a
higher-than-expected quarterly profit on a 1 percent rise in
revenue, boosted by growth in its Tax & Accounting and Legal
divisions.

The company also announced a plan to buy back up to an
additional $1 billion in shares through the end of 2015 after
completing a $1 billion program announced last October.

Shares of Thomson Reuters rose more than 3 percent in
Wednesday morning trading.
